Geez! Wala ako mapiling damit. I actually have one big room, a walk-in closet for my clothes, bags, shoes, accessories and the like. Kaya ang hirap pumili, kasing hirap pumili kung sino ang papayagan mong manligaw sayo.

Yes, some friends of my friends tried to court me. I wasn't that dense not to feel na they're flirting. Ayoko sa ganon. Go straight to the point dapat. Hindi yung kung ano ano pang ang sinasabi at ginagawa yun pala gusto lang manligaw. Psh. Guys today.

There's one, grandson of a Senator. I actually knew him since college days. He was so the epitome of a boy next door. Super kind and soft-spoken niya. Wala nga siyang Twitter and Instagram accounts before eh. He's not into partying, smoking, drinking. He's indeed a person for a long run. Swerte ng magiging girlfriend non talaga! Dati, ako lang ang kinakausap niyang babae sa block. When I asked him why, he told me that he's not just fond of conversing to girls. Hindi daw siya mahilig sa babae. Ayaw din niya magkaron ng friends na babae kasi daw demanding and complicated. So how about me? Duh. Sabi naman niya, iba daw ako? And why's that? I didn't ask for any further explanation about that. I just enjoyed our friendship. Pero ito talaga eh, syempre sa friendship, you have to make time di ba? Paano ba naman kami makakapagbonding eh bahay, school, bahay, school ang routine niya. This guy! Iba talaga. However, eventually things happen, so we lost in touch when I went to the States for my OJT. I was hella busy those years while him? I don't know. From that day on, wala na. Luigi Pierre Pangilinan is out of line.

Until one damn day, I saw him, eating in my restaurant, Shocks! It's really him. He hasn't changed! Still wearing that boy next door look but now fuck, he's hotter. Yep, he's already hot before. Luigi's a sexy good boy.

We're friends again. But we don't communicate a lot. Siguro mga once a week lang naman kami hindi nag uusap. OA ko ba sa 'a lot'? Busy yung tao na yon! He's always out of the country for business. He owns chains of hotels and restaurants. Hindi daw siya mahilig sa politics kaya yung field ko na lang ang ginawa niyang passion. Wow. He is a Marketing Management graduate from La Salle  pero napunta siya sa Hotel and Restaurant industry. Wow lang talaga. So proud of my guy friend ever! Can't wait to see him next week though!

My thoughts of him faded when my phone rang.

Caller... Josh

"Hello Josh?"

"Mase! Gusto mo sunduin ka nami ni Krizzie?"

"Ha? Wag na! I can drive naman and ang layo mo pa kaya. Hassle."

"Noooope. Someone here wants to keep you safe. Sunduin daw kita."

"Hehe tell Krizzie not to get worried! She already witnessed how a good driver I am. Thanks anyway Josh."

"Maaaase. Mag thank you ka din daw sa kanya. Hahahaha."

Ha? Parang ewan naman tong si Krizzie.
Pero para hindi humaba ang usapan...

"Alright. Thank you, bestie. I love you okay? Don't be bothered na. I'll be going out in a few. See you!"

After that I hang up not waiting for her answer! Mag memake-up pa kasi ako.

Theeeeere! I'm all done! I am wearing a black Bershka low back top, Topshop boyfriend jeans and Salvatore Ferragamo black single-strap heels partnered with small diamond earrings, and a Charriol bracelet. I don't accessorize that much! It's really a good thing the party has no theme.

I'm off to go.
